Handpull cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Golden and clear with a sporty white head. Not much Arona at all. A bit of malt, some wheat and some lemon but it is very faint. Bittersweet malty taste with some bitter citrus notes in the finish. A hint of biscuit and a bit of soap. Lemon and more malt in the aftertaste. Good enough but not a lot to it really.

Cask at the Water Witch, Lancaster. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Aromas of caramel, light floral, buttery. Taste is more of the same. Sweet finish. Buttery.

On cask at Burton Bridge Inn - Light straw body, lacing white head. Aroma is a mild, fruity malt, with a little citrus in the background. Flavour is a lovely malt, with hints of caramel apples. Light bodied, very well balanced, beautifully bitter, a great session beer this one.

Cask at the moon under water Watford. Vinegar aroma. Golden colour long lasting white head. A tale malt and vinegar. Absolutely dreadful. I’m sending this one back.

Hand-pulled pint in the Brewery Tap at the National Brewery Museum, Burton-on-Trent on 10 Apr 2013. Golden (and almost) delicious as the name claims: light golden in fact with a full white head that produced some impressive lacing. Floral and fruity nose with a taste that is very simular, with a semi-sweet maltiness throughout the beer. Mid-bodied and easy to drink: a better than average brew.
